yup, even following all methods of instruction, (and currently with 18 active connections) sync seems to slow, stick and after restart, kicks in again, eventually.
I have no doubt that I have the capability to get the wallet totally synced, but am dubious as to whether or not it will stay synced. we;ll have to see. thankfully, i'm a patient man!
i got 3 wallets for test(send coins) and they totally synced.
but few hours after, they got out of sync and cannot sync anymore.
i almost give up because i tried so many times, i delete them again just like before.
i found people talking about the "sever" command. my shacoin.conf didn't have that.
i look into the #1 post, i found that.
now all my wallets synced again, and i use the #1 post CONF only.
everything seems okay, i will wait and see if they can stay synced.
